Maps of slip distributions for two finite-faulting models derived from teleseimic P-waves (left) and joint inversion of P waves, Rayleigh waves and continuous GPS observations (right, adapted from Ammon et al., 2011). The P wave inversion model has variable rake of the subfaults, indicated by the small vectors; the joint inversion has uniform rake of 85°. The global centroid moment tensor (GCMT) solutions for the mainshock and aftershocks are shown on the right map.
